News Roundup: My Morning Jacket, Kurt Cobain, Free Kitten

My Morning Jacket have unveiled the tracklisting for Evil Urges, the southern rockers' forthcoming studio follow-up to 2005's acclaimed set Z. Expect songs such as the noodling, rollicking "I'm Amazed," the haunting acoustics of "Librarian," and thunderous balladry of "Smokin From Shootin" to seethe from the axe-rockin' fingers and belting pipes of frontman Jim James June 10 when Evil Urges drops to stores shelves nationwide courtesy of ATO. And for fans heading to SXSW this week, don't miss My Morning Jacket March 13 at the Austin Music Hall, or James' solo set March 15 at St. David's Church.

Though Kurt Cobain has one of most recognized names in rock'n'roll, and, you know, killed himself over 14 years ago, the Nirvana leader has become the victim of identity theft, the NY Daily News reports via the UK Sun. According to reports, the thieves used the grunge rocker's name to purchase a $3 million New Jersey mansion, plus numerous luxury cars, and may have looted his estate for as much as $72 million with as many as 188 faulty credit cards. "I know who they are," Cobain's widow Courtney Love told the Sun of the culprits. "It had been going on since when I went cuckoo, bananas, in 2003." [Via thedailyswarm.com]
